It has been reported that Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced former Hollywood producer, was on the verge of death before undergoing emergency heart surgery on Sunday. This shocking revelation comes as he faces three new criminal complaints from 2005, 2006, and 2016, as announced in a New York courtroom on Thursday.
According to Weinstein's lawyer, Arthur Aidala, they have no further information about these complaints at this time. Assistant District Attorney Nicole Blumberg also confirmed in court that the grand jury has indicted Weinstein. This news comes on top of the recent reports that Weinstein was in critical condition before his surgery, with insiders stating that he was in rough shape.
Weinstein's lawyer, Craig Rothfeld, released a statement saying that his client was rushed to Bellevue Hospital due to several medical conditions and underwent a heart procedure. However, due to Weinstein's ongoing health issues, they could not provide any further details. Juda Engelmayer, a spokesperson for Weinstein, also confirmed that he is currently stable and resting.
This is not the first time that Weinstein's health has been a concern. In fact, in February 2020, he was found guilty of rape and other offenses and was sentenced to 23 years in prison. But just a few months later, in a shocking turn of events, his conviction was overturned by the Court of Appeal. This has led to his current recovery at Manhattan Hospital, where he was moved from Rikers Island jail complex after Judge Curtis Farber granted a defense request.
Weinstein's retrial for the case that was overturned in April is currently scheduled for November, but it is unclear if these new charges will be included in the trial or examined separately. Despite facing allegations of rape and sexual misconduct from over 100 people dating back to the late 1970s, Weinstein has maintained his innocence.
Throughout his career, Weinstein was known for producing hit movies such as Pulp Fiction, The English Patient, and Shakespeare In Love. However, his legacy has been tarnished by these numerous allegations.
